Chapter 812 Something is wrong with you
Gin shook the messy associations out of his mind.
"..." It seems that in the future, even the tasks assigned to Brother Uzo will have to be considered more carefully.
First of all, you can't get involved with those who the organization doesn't want to move for the time being. You can't get involved in any way - it's as dangerous as leaving fragile items on the table. For normal people, a task is just a task, and a piece of porcelain is just placed there, and no one will think much about it. If you meet a careful person, they may push it to a place where it is not easy to fall, to keep it stable and avoid accidents.
But Uzo is different.
This "detective" with somewhat problematic mental state would probably immediately notice the hidden danger and begin to look forward to the bloody and dazzling appearance when the danger blossoms.
...From the newspapers' reports of the depressed look of the Ghost Tiger Society members and the information that Wu Zuo had personally gone there to be a "hostage", it seems that the remnants of the Ghost Tiger Society were severely beaten yesterday - after all, the assassination attempt that was supposed to take place was forcibly stopped, and Wu Zuo's dissatisfaction was probably all transferred to them.
…
Rice flower town.
Jiang Xia didn't know that his image had been misinterpreted again.
After he finished his daily heroic acts, he continued to deal with commissioned matters that seemed ordinary at first glance.
During this period, perhaps because he was indeed a dangerous hostage, or perhaps because no one died in this incident... the elusive Toru Amuro appeared again.
Toru Amuro briefly observed Jiang Xia, said a few words of comfort, added some new health tea to the store, and then left silently while Jiang Xia was not paying attention.
…
Jiang Xia: “…”
He looked at the empty detective agency and sighed softly.
After all, Toru Amuro has an identity as a "Bourbon".
If Bourbon suddenly had the idea to check Jiang Xia's current situation in the organization, he would easily find that this "peripheral member" now has a new "boss".
In order to maintain the corresponding harmony while stepping on two "bosses".
Jiang Xia originally planned to talk to Amuro Toru more in the next few days, bring up the matter of Uzo, and put the blame on "Uzo" in advance - after all, this kind of personnel transfer would definitely not be the idea of "ordinary peripheral member Jiang Xia", it must be that "Uzo" saw his talent and potential and took the initiative to ask for him.
...Who would have thought that Amuro Toru, the busy undercover, did not give him the opportunity to speak, and kept coming and going in a hurry, at most asking a few questions about the sudden case out of the nature of a detective. After asking, he would quickly disappear while Jiang Xia was focusing on the client.
…
Except for the shadowy consolation from Toru Amuro.
Jiang Xia also received many other greetings.
He replied one by one, thanking the other party for their concern, and tactfully stated that he was not injured in the accident, so the detective agency was still operating as usual, and they could come to him anytime if they had any questions.
After dealing with the detective's troublesome but sweet network.
Jiang Xia put down his cell phone, found the newspapers he had collected, and prepared to cut out the latest related reports and put them together into a collection of solved cases to help the guests here pass the time.
Just as I picked up the scissors on the table, my cell phone suddenly vibrated.
——This time, the one who received the message was actually the organization’s dedicated machine.
“…”
Jiang Xia did not pause and continued to swing the scissors as if nothing had happened, cutting out a piece of newspaper, as if he had not received any information just now.
——Although Toru Amuro is in hiding, this is still the "Amuro Detective Agency" after all.
And Amuro Toru is a private detective, a police undercover, or a mysterious intelligence agent of an organization... No matter which identity he is, it is inevitable that he likes to throw some bugs and transmitters everywhere. Fixed offices like this, where customers often come and go, must have installed a lot of surveillance.
At present, Jiang Xia has a lot of bosses under his feet. Anyway, the vibration just now didn't make any sound and would not be observed. Jiang Xia simply cut a newspaper slowly, and then he seemed to remember something. He went outside and checked his phone where the surveillance camera couldn't capture it.
The email was sent by Vermouth:
[I heard that you are often bored recently. Why don't you come to see me? I know a bar that has launched a new type of liqueur with an exclusive recipe, which is only sold in this season. There is also a good resident band there. Why don't you come and experience it~]
"..." Jiang Xia took a look and turned off the screen: Boring, what's the fun of a bar, there's no murderous atmosphere.
He put away his phone and took two steps towards the detective agency.
Then he hesitated and stopped.
After a moment, Jiang Xia took out his phone again and replied to the email: "Time and place?"
...Not for any bar.
The main reason is that wherever Vermouth is, there is a high-end murderous aura with an apple flavor. I haven't seen her for a while recently, and I need to replenish my inventory.
...In addition, her help might also be needed in the mission to assassinate President Sindra.
…
The other side.
In the newly replaced large bathtub in the clinic.
Vermouth was enjoying a bubble bath while trimming her nails, with a cell phone in a waterproof case casually placed beside her.
——In order to not appear awkward when approaching high school students, and because she was a little concerned about Uzo's situation, she insisted on sending a message to Uzo every once in a while. Most of the time, she would just flirt with him, but sometimes she would also send him an invitation to some interesting places.
Yet Uzo rarely responded.
Unexpectedly, today, not long after the message was sent, the phone next to me rang.
What's even more bizarre is that when she pressed the light to check the content, Vermouth was surprised to find that Uzo actually asked about the time and place, and looked like he was really going to agree.
"……?"
...Why did you ignore her before, but suddenly agreed now?
Something was a little unusual, which made Vermouth instinctively alert.
She quickly recalled Usa's meticulous insight, especially his ability to read people's minds. Then she thought about her special feelings for Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. She felt uneasy: Could it be that Usa noticed something was wrong? But they had only had a few contacts...
Vermouth fell into deep thought for a moment.
It might be because her first meeting with Wu Zuo was not a pleasant one. In addition, after coming to Japan, she has been watched by those annoying FBIs, and it is often inconvenient for her to meet people in the organization. Therefore, many of the messages she sent to Wu Zuo fell into the sea. Occasionally, when she met Wu Zuo outside, she had to rely on herself to follow him.
Why this time...
Vermouth touched her moisture-covered chin, and Uzo's horrific assassination files flashed through her mind unconsciously. She thought carefully: Could this be a trick?
